Today we will look at miniature plush dogs of the cversters, they are dwarf spitts. The prefixes of the Tsverg already claims to us that the animal is very small. Pesca is thick wool, a small tail with a ring, a pretty face. These signs give a dog in some kind of "toy" a view that cannot be left indifferent.
However, the animal can stand out without fear for himself and the owner is distinguished by energetic and mind. Why are the cverschpets often call oranges, right or not? What are the differences, how to properly care for the pet?
Description
The crushpitsa come from Germany. It is for this reason that the dogs got another name - German Spitz. In size, the dog is determined in two categories - growth and weight. The growth of the highest pieces reaches no more than 20 cm, the weight category in the area of 3 kg. The miniature spitz on average weighs 2.4 kg, and height reaches 18 cm.
In addition to the pretty appearance, the animal has a rather long lifespan. With proper care, pets live 18 years or more. The wool color of the dwarf animal is diverse. The breed standard allows the following types of colors:
- brown with black;
- White with gray.
Puppies, like all the kids, look in a comfortable, but the most common color of the cversters - orange-gold. The dog of this color resembles a small fluffy fox. Despite its thick, but air fur, the dog breed refers to hypoallergenic, without causing any signs of manifestation of allergic reactions in humans.
True, requires careful care and regular compliance with all necessary procedures.
A bit of history
The first mention of German Spitsa can be found during the Middle Ages. The second name "Pomeranian" dog received due to the country from which the breed was spreading around the world. In Pomerania, and now Germany, the first representatives of the breed of dwarf dogs were replaced. Therefore, the dog can be called both so, and so - both options will be true. The breed has received its true popularity after the puppies appeared in England in the XIX century. The Queen Victoria brought there, taking kids from Italy.
The ancestors of the cverschpitsa earlier reached a large weight category, namely we were wearing 15 kg , the size of the animal was allowed to apply it as a shepherd breed. By selection of an animal with other breeds, breeders managed to get a miniature dog, distinguished by high decorative characteristics.
In 1871, the cversters received the status of an officially recognized breed. Two years later, they developed a standard for which the characteristics of the animal with other representatives of German spa were compared: oranges, klainshpitsy. On the territory of America, the Cynological Club of the country acknowledged the miniature list relatively recently, in the XX century.
At the moment, the decorative characteristics of the dog makes it possible to use the animal for home content, bringing the visual pleasure of the owner. The tiny size of the Cvergspites does not allow them to perform other functions, despite the sharp hearing, the ringing loud bark. The pretty appearance of dogs does not fit with the arrogant and self-confident character of the animal. Dwarf spits need training.
The energy of the animal allows training for several hours in a row.
What is different from Pomeranian Spitz?
Consider the standards of the two FCI and ASK federations in relation to dwarfs and conventional oranges. What are the differences?
- Origin. Oranges were derived from the breed of German Spitz by the method of crossing the main breed with others. Pomeranians changed the structure of the wool, its coloring. All puppies brought to the territory of Russia from abroad are called German spitz, which is not entirely true. However, this gives the right to breed dogs according to the standards of German Spitz. When exporting, the animal is counted to the orange.
- Animal dimensions. According to the classification of standards ASC, oranges reach a height of up to 28 cm and weigh an average of 3 kg. According to the FCI standard, a klyanischpits is highlighted with 23 cm tested and a 20 cm high and below.
- Color wool. Breeds with golden, black, white, grayish, brown colors are recognized in Russia. Imported oranges can have other options for colors.
- Head. The ears of orange dogs are widely placed, small, the muzzle is short with a pronounced stop. German spitts have narrowly-represented, pointed ears, the fruit is sharp, resembles a fox.
- Jaw, teeth. In oranges, as a rule, there are no premolars, sometimes incommunicability occurs. In German spitts, 42 teeth grows, bite scoopular.
- Limbs. The forefronts in oranges with shepherd pies, located at an angle of 90 degrees (visual), the inclination of the small German spa passes at an angle of 20 degrees.
- Tail. The main distinguishing feature of the oranges is their tail, he never curls into the ring. The tail of German dogs is located above the back and can form a double ring.
- Structure of wool. Oranges sometimes absent completely oratory hair, double woolen cover. Bloodstock thick, wadded. The hairs wool in structure are similar to the spirals. The Germans have a double wool, but long, straight, standing. Hairless hair climbs.
- Breeding. Imported animals are allowed to breed without an exhibition rating, but with the presence of documents on a pedigree dog. German spits are bred after receiving an exhibition rating, not lower than the level "very good" with the mandatory presence of a pedigree line.
Why can a dog living in Russia may be less than FCI standards? The fact is that in Russia there is a mating of the cversters with smaller brethren and on the contrary.
The knitting of two cversters brings a different litter in which puppies are obtained and dwarf and ordinary.
Advantages and disadvantages
